On January 4th, 2006, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed (Mohammed) became the Ruler of Dubai.

On January 5th, the members of the Supreme Council elected Sheikh Mohammed the Vice President of The United Arab Emirates (UAE):

Islam is the official religion, and Arabic is the official language....

The arrival of envoys from the Islamic prophet Muhammad in 630 heralded the conversion of the region to Islam.

(Wikipedia, emphasis added). Soon after Mohammed became Ruler of Dubai, Dick Cheney's company Halliburton moved its world headquarters to Dubai:

Halliburton Co., currently the largest military contractor in Iraq with billions of dollars in Pentagon contracts, announced Sunday that it was planning to move its CEO and corporate headquarters from Houston to Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

Run by Vice President Dick Cheney from 1995 to 2000, Halliburton has a five-year, $16 billion contract with the U.S. Army and total revenues of $22.6 billion in 2006.

Our govt. truly is 'sick from head to toe'. There is no soundness whatsoever. When we have millions unemployed, losing their homes and businesses, how can these govt. employees, who work for US...SLEEP AT NIGHT!
